A wedding venue told a couple in Ohio that they could not have their marriage hosted there because they are both women, the New York Daily News reports. The couple, Reagan Bowen and Deandra Fairand, of Piqua, Ohio, became engaged last September, the article said. They were interested in having their wedding at The Light on the Hill, a venue that promises prospective customers, "We will walk the extra mile. With a charismatic attitude as we serve Christ and you." But when the brides reached out to the venue, they were turned away. The message they received in response told them exactly why. "I am sorry, Reagan, because of our Christian beliefs, we do not believe in same-sex marriages at the venue," the message said. "I wanted to respond back to you and be upfront with you." Bowen called the rejection "disheartening and humiliating," but it didn't alter her confidence in her own faith. "I know that God loves me, and I know that God created everybody," she told local news station WHIO, adding that she had no plans to take legal action.
